Adichie grew up bilingually and writes in English and Igbo. Citing Chinua Achebe and Buchi Emecheta as her inspiration, she first published Decisions, a poetry collection, in 1997, which she followed with a play, For Love of Biafra, in 1998. Her father&amp;#039;s story during the war supplied material for her second novel Half of a Yellow Sun.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

|Summary=Adichie was born and raised in Enugu, the capital of Enugu State. After her secondary education, she attended the University of Nigeria, where she was the editor of the school&amp;#039;s magazine, The Compass. At nineteen, she left Nigeria for the United States to undertake further education at Drexel University, and would later study at three universities: Eastern Connecticut State University, Johns Hopkins University, and Yale University. Adichie grew up bilingually and writes in English and Igbo. Citing Chinua Achebe and Buchi Emecheta as her inspiration, she first published Decisions, a poetry collection, in 1997, which she followed with a play, For Love of Biafra, in 1998. Her father&amp;#039;s story during the war supplied material for her second novel Half of a Yellow Sun.&lt;br /&gt;
|Early_Life=Adichie was born on 15 September 1977 and raised in Enugu, Nigeria, as the fifth out of six children to Igbo parents.[1][2][3] Bearing Amanda as her English name,[4][5] she made up the Igbo name &amp;quot;Chimamanda&amp;quot; in the 1990s to keep her legal English name and conform with the Igbo Christian naming customs.[b][4][7] Adichie&amp;#039;s father, James Nwoye Adichie, was born in Abba in Anambra State, and studied mathematics at University College, Ibadan, from which he graduated in 1957. James married Grace Odigwe on 15 April 1963,[8] and moved with her to Berkeley in the United States, to complete his PhD at the University of California.[9] After returning to Nigeria, he began working as a professor at the University of Nigeria at Nsukka in 1966.[10] Her mother was born in Umunnachi, Anambra State.[2] Grace began her university studies in 1964, at Merritt College in Oakland, California, and later earned a degree in sociology and anthropology from the University of Nigeria.[2][11]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Biafran War broke out in 1967 and James started working for the Biafran government[9] at the Biafran Manpower Directorate.[12] During the war, Adichie lost her maternal and paternal grandfathers.[13] After Biafra ceased to exist in 1970, her father returned to the University of Nigeria[10][9] while her mother worked for the government in Enugu until 1973 when she became an administration officer at the University of Nigeria, and later the first female registrar.[2][11] Adichie stayed at the University of Nigeria campus in the house previously occupied by Nigerian writer Chinua Achebe.[14] Her siblings include Ijeoma Rosemary, Uchenna &amp;quot;Uche&amp;quot;, Chukwunweike &amp;quot;Chuks&amp;quot;, Okechukwu &amp;quot;Okey&amp;quot; and Kenechukwu &amp;quot;Kene&amp;quot;.[5][8] Adichie was raised Catholic,[9] and the family&amp;#039;s parish was St. Paul&amp;#039;s Parish in Abba.[12] Adichie&amp;#039;s father died of kidney failure in 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic,[15] and her mother died in 2021.[2]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As a child, Adichie read only English-language stories especially by Enid Blyton.[9] Her juvenilia included stories with characters who were white and blue-eyed, modeled on British children she had read about.[9][12][16] At ten, she discovered African literature and read Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe,[14] The African Child by Camara Laye,[16] Weep Not, Child by Ngũgĩ wa Thiong&amp;#039;o, and Joys of Motherhood by Buchi Emecheta.[12] Adichie began to study her father&amp;#039;s Biafran stories when she was thirteen. In visits to Abba, she saw destroyed houses and rusty bullets scattered on the ground, and would later incorporate them and her father&amp;#039;s accounts into her novels.[12]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Adichie began her formal education, which included both Igbo and English.[1] Although Igbo was not a popular subject, she continued taking courses in the language throughout high school.[9] She completed her secondary education at the University of Nigeria Campus Secondary School, with top distinction in the West African Examinations Council (WAEC),[5] and numerous academic prizes.[17] She was admitted to the University of Nigeria, where she studied medicine and pharmacy for a year and half,[18] and served as the editor of The Compass, a student-run magazine in the university.[19] In 1997, at the age of 19, Adichie published Decisions, a collection of poems, and moved to the United States[16] to study communications at Drexel University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.[17][19] In 1998, she wrote a play called For Love of Biafra.[16] Her early works were written under the name Amanda N. Adichie.[4]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Two years after moving to the United States, Adichie transferred to Eastern Connecticut State University in Willimantic, Connecticut, where she lived with her sister Ijeoma, who was a medical doctor there.[1] In 2000, she published her short story &amp;quot;My Mother, the Crazy African&amp;quot;,[20] which discusses the problems that arise when a person is facing two completely opposite cultures.[21] After finishing her undergraduate degree, she continued studying and simultaneously pursued a writing career.[16] While a senior at Eastern Connecticut, she wrote articles for the university paper Campus Lantern.[19] She received her bachelor&amp;#039;s degree summa cum laude with a major in political science and a minor in communications in 2001.[1][19] She later earned a master&amp;#039;s degree in creative writing from Johns Hopkins University in 2003[19][22] and, for the next two years, was a Hodder Fellow at Princeton University, where she taught introductory fiction.[16][17] She began studying at Yale University, and completed a second master&amp;#039;s degree in African studies in 2008.[1][16] Adichie received a MacArthur Fellowship that same year,[23] plus other academic prizes, including the 2011–2012 Fellowship of the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study at Harvard University.[24]&lt;br /&gt;
